Corpus got their scoring started with a solo HR from McDonald in the 2nd inning. They would add another run in the 3rd on a Tanielu RBI single. In the 6th Gregor came through with an RBI single to tie the game at 3-3. The game would stay tied until the 9th when Frisco was able to walk-off with the win.

Corpus pitching limits Frisco to just two hits. Frias got the start and went the first 6 innings allowing 2 hits with no runs. Corpus only scored once but made it count.
